The Incomplete Puzzle
" Local Power felt stuck. Each team worked hard, but outdated systems created confusion, like navigating a maze blindfolded. We needed a simpler path to happy customers."
Local Power, like many businesses, grappled with inefficiencies due to outdated systems. Their reliance on separate software like Excel, Word, and Sage created data silos and hampered real-time collaboration. Manual processes, such as creating invoices and estimates, were time-consuming and error prone. Additionally, the absence of specialized software made tasks like estimating solar energy production or analysing operational costs cumbersome. Finally, a lack of automated workflows for approvals, like customer grants, likely slowed down processes and impacted customer satisfaction.
After recognizing the limitations of siloed data and fragmented processes, took a bold step towards a brighter future with CBOSIT. Their outdated systems hindered collaboration and efficiency. Local Power craved a streamlined operation, empowering them to deliver seamless energy solutions and exceptional service to Irish homes and businesses.
Local Power's ‘Discovery’ phase unearthed critical bottlenecks in their daily operations. These challenges included:
Data Silos, Slow Collaboration: Local Power relied on a mix of Excel, Word, and Sage, creating isolated data pockets. This hindered real-time communication and collaboration across teams.
Manual Invoicing Delays: Creating invoices and estimates through Sage was a time-consuming and error-prone manual process.
Guessing Game for Energy: Accurately estimating solar energy production based on roof details required manual calculations, leading to potential inaccuracies.
Cost Analysis in the Dark: Local Power lacked the ability to analyse operational costs compared to their selling prices, making it difficult to optimize pricing and identify cost-saving opportunities.
Grant Labyrinth Frustration: The customer grant process was a tedious and manual maze for both Local Power and their clients, likely leading to delays and frustration.
Missing Approval Workflows: Approval processes were crucial but often skipped due to lack of technology, creating inconsistency and potential problems.

"At Local Power, we were impressed by the dedication of the team at CBOSIT. They took the time to truly understand our daily processes and what drives our success. The outcome? A seamlessly integrated system that feels intuitive to our team while propelling our operations forward with remarkable efficiency and scalability.”
